The Movie: King Kong (1933)
What Is It?: More
ape business: a bunch of jerky explorers strut onto a secluded island, kidnap a
giant gorilla, drag him to NYC, secure him with rubber bands while exploiting
him in front of a bunch of slack-jawed richies, whine when he breaks free, and
murder him. Willis O’Brien’s magical stop-motion effects will make you want to
punch a computer in the face.
Why Today?: Because of this.
